Opportunities and challenges of nanotechnology in the green economy

In a world of finite resources and ecosystem capacity, the prevailing model of economic growth, founded on ever-increasing consumption of resources and emission pollutants, cannot be sustained any longer. In this context, the "green economy" concept has offered the opportunity to change the way that society manages the interaction of the environmental and economic domains. To enable society to ...

Green Chemistry for Nanotechnology: Opportunities and Future Challenges

Nanotechnology is a paradigm for emerging technologies and much talked about area of science. It is the technology of future and has revolutionized all fields of medicine, agriculture, environmental and electronics by providing abilities that would never have previously dreamt of. It is a unique platform of multidisciplinary approaches integrating diverse fields of engineering, biology, physics...

Nanotechnology: opportunities and challenges

machines and process calculi The first model to capture the complex interplay between non-determinism and concurrency in distributed systems was Petri Nets [Pet], these nets were designed information flow in natural as well as man-made systems. In the early eighties, algebraic process calculi [BHR][Mil] were designed to model interactive systems hierarchically, and to model their behaviour abst...
